XI LI NX ALL PRORGAM MAB LE DEVICESXilinx Solution Highlights• Achieve greater individual and teamproductivity, with fewer design iterations• Efficiently address design complexity,
and free up time to focus on design
differentiation• Shrink time to production• Deliver breakthrough performance,power, and cost results

ISE Design Suite 14: Enabling System-Level Productivity
With the Xilinx ISE® Design Suite development environment, individual developers and teams
can achieve greater productivity and bring designs to production faster. Breakthroughtechnologies facilitate power optimization and simplify IP integration. To unlock the fullpotential of Xilinx Targeted Design Platforms, ISE Design Suite configurations align with
common methodologies for logic, embedded, DSP, and system design. ISE Design Suiteprovides a tight connection between design flows to simplify the integration of embedded,DSP, IP, and user blocks in one system.
Highlights of the ISE Design Suite Release 14 include:• Boosted designer productivity, with a team design environment that streamlines collaborations• Support for portfolio of Xilinx All Programmable devices.
• Single, standard interface supporting AMBA® 4 AXI4™ IP for plug-and-play design• Usability enhancements for PlanAhead• Intuitive design flow with fifth-generation partial reconfiguration capabilities that lower systemcost for a broad range of high-performance applications• Intelligent clock-gating technology that reduces dynamic power consumption by as much as
30 percent

Complete Methodology for Targeted Design Platforms
Xilinx Targeted Design Platforms give designers with access to a wide array of silicon devices
supported by open standards, common design flows, IP, and run-time platforms. The ISE
Design Suite brings it all together with domain-specific design environments, while enabling
design teams to meet their power and performance goals with Xilinx devices.
